Abstract
A pair of opposite metallic plates are disposed at an interval with respect to each other so as to form a wave guide space without side plates. A plurality of power radiating slots are formed within one of the metallic plates. A lens antenna is provided for forming a flat equiphase plane wave at the power feed opening of the wave guide space, so that the power is propagated within the wave guide space in the TE mode and radiated from the slots.
